Function and Description
Highly Developed Vacuum Relief Valve
The V/SV-XL type PROTEGO® valve is a highly developed optimized
vacuum relief valve
Válvula de vácuo
A vacuum relief valve is used to ventilate a part of the system and protects it from impermissible underpressure.
with excellent flow performance. It is primarily used as a
device
Equipamento
A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow.
for relieving
vacuum
Vácuo
Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure.
in tanks, containers and process engineering equipment. The valve offers reliable protection against vacuum, and prevents inbreathing of air close to the
set pressure
Pressão de descarga
Set pressure is the gauge pressure at the device inlet at which the relief device is set to start opening under service conditions.
.
The device will start to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and only requires 10%
overpressure
Sobrepressão
Overpressure refers to an increase in pressure in a system or vessel above the normal operating pressure.
to full
lift
Curso
Lift is the actual travel of the valve pallet from the main valve out of the closed position.
. Continuous investments into research and development have allowed PROTEGO® to develop a low pressure valve which has the same opening characteristic as a high pressure safety relief valve
10% Technology
This “full lift type” technology allows the valve to be set just 10% below the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank and still safely vent the required mass flow.
Due to our highly developed manufacturing technology the
tank pressure
Pressão de tanque
Tank pressure is the pressure within a tank.
is maintained up to set pressure, with a tightness that is far superior to the conventional standard. This feature is achieved by valve seats made of high quality stainless steel and with precisely lapped valve pallets (1) or with an air cushion
seal
Vedação
A seal prevents or limits unwanted transfer of product from one container to another. Seal is used as superordinate term for all types of sealing elements.
(2) in conjunction with high quality FEP
diaphragm
Membrana
A diaphragm is a thin layer of material, which has a large surface area.
. The valve pallets are also available with a PTFE seal to prevent the valve pallets from sticking when sticky products are used, and they enable the use of corrosive media. After the vacuum is relieved, the valve reseats and provides a tight seal again.
Flow-Optimized Valve Body for Maximum Efficiency
The optimized fluid dynamic design of the valve body and

Flow Capacity Chart
The flow capacity charts have been determined with a calibrated and TÜV certified flow capacity test rig. Volume flow V in (m³/h) and CFH refer to the standard reference conditions of air ISO 6358 (20°C, 1bar). For conversion to other densities and temperatures refer to Sec. 1: “Technical Fundamentals”.
